Li Zhi slowly took two steps back, stared and listened to the back of Li Hong, who was still talking, and suddenly asked, "Has the murderer of Liang Jianfang been found?" ”

Li Hong turned around and looked at Li Zhi, his cheeks were full of smiles, and under the illumination of the palace lamp, his face was glowing: "I found it." ”

"Can you live?" Li Zhi asked for no reason.

Li Hong glanced at a few people not far from their father and son, walked up to Li Zhi and said, "Father, if it were you, what would you do?" ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "Yes, as the crown prince, if you can't even take care of your own subordinates, how can you expect others to work hard for you?" There is a degree of reward and punishment, and the punishment is naturally to be punished, for the sake of following the father for more than ten years, you must take care of the degree, how about it? ”

Li Hong was thinking in his heart: How could his father be so generous? He allowed himself to punish the murderer, wouldn't that also chill people's hearts? Or is my father playing some crooked idea?

"Myth" failed in tracking down Liang Jianfang's murderer and found the real perpetrator, but he could not be punished according to the law.

"Yes, Father." No matter what his father's idea was, Li Hong knew that he could only compromise.

"Good. Father believes in you! After Li Zhi finished speaking, he walked forward slowly, but the personal eunuch Yang and Xia Zhi and the others stood there motionless, as if they didn't see Li Zhi's figure that was about to disappear.

"The slave and maid plead guilty to His Highness." Yang Wu walked up to Li Hong and knelt down and said.

"Get up first, you also heard what my father said just now, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Killing Liang Jianfang could have been avoided and pursued, but you are too ruthless, no one knows Liang Jianfang's miserable appearance better than you, right? Li Hong looked at Yangwu, who could block the "myth", and said.

"The slave and the maid are guilty, and the slave and the maid are willing to fight with their lives, and there is no complaint." Yang Wu kowtowed to Li Hong and said.

This is the victim of the political struggle, whether it is Liang Jianfang, who sacrificed in vain, or Yang Wu, who is kneeling before him now. To put it bluntly, it is just a game chip between the superiors, and often in the end, it is the people closest to the superiors who suffer.

The superiors can compromise and make concessions to each other in the struggle, and they are the mediator in the interests of the superiors that can be used to sacrifice and balance the struggle between the two sides.

Li Hong looked at the palace Qianniu guard guards, beckoned a guard over, looked at the horizontal knife on his waist, and then reached out and slowly pulled the horizontal knife out of the scabbard.

"I also pit you a lot of money when I was in the palace for so many years, and these can offset some crimes. Yangwu, ask you something, are you left-handed or right-handed? Li Hong took the horizontal knife and swiped back and forth on the bluestone slab, and the tip of the knife rubbed against the bluestone slab to make a sound that made people's teeth sore.

"The slave and maid can use their left and right hands flexibly, and there is no one who is convenient or inconvenient." Yang Wu's tone was calm and calm. Looking at the snow-white and shiny horizontal knife in Li Hong's hand, the blade flashed with a compelling cold air and said.

"You are the slave of my father, if I really kill you, it is estimated that my father will definitely find an opportunity to clean me up, and I am afraid that it is indispensable to be punished. Let's chop off a finger yourself, and I can have an explanation with Liang Jianfang. What do you think? Li Hong generously handed the horizontal knife in his hand to Yang Wu, and took a silk handkerchief as white as snow from Xia Zhi and handed it to Yang Wu.

Yang Wu respectfully took the horizontal knife with both hands, carefully placed it on the knees of his knees, and then took the silk handkerchief handed by Li Hong again.

He gently wiped the blade of the knife with a silk handkerchief, wiped it back and forth several times, and then wrapped the four fingers of his left hand except for the thumb with a silk handkerchief, and kowtowed to Li Hong and said: "Slave, thank you Your Highness for not killing!" ”

The blade slowly slashed across the four fingers covered with the silk handkerchief, and the blood slowly seeped out on the snow-white silk handkerchief like a plum blossom that opened in the dark night snow.

Li Hong turned around and didn't look at Yang Wu and said: "Wrap it in a silk handkerchief and bury it together with Liang Jianfang's body, which can be regarded as an explanation to him and his family." ”

Yang Wu looked at the figure of the prince and the others leaving, holding a new silk handkerchief handed by Xia Zhi in his right hand, and tightly covering the little thumb of his left hand, the pain of ten fingers connected to his heart still made the expression on Yang Wu's face look a little distorted.

Hurriedly took out the best Jinchuang medicine in his arms, and with the help of the guards of Qianniuwei, bandaged the wound, and Yang Wu hurried to Li Zhi's study.

"To my surprise, that boy didn't want your life. Do you have anything to say? Li Zhi looked at Yang Wu, who was respectfully standing in front of the desk, and asked with a silk handkerchief bandaged on his left hand.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if you want the life of the slave, I'm afraid Your Majesty will find an opportunity to clean him up, and I'm afraid that you will beat him." Yang Wu replied truthfully.

Li Zhi chuckled twice: "He has a good idea, and he uses my people to help him win over his henchmen, and he is afraid that I will beat him!" How can he take advantage of all the good things in the world! Tomorrow morning, the court will take the lead in informing Du Zhenglun, Cui Zhiwen and Gao Zhizhou, the doctor of the Imperial Historical Observatory, to jointly play, and crown the prince Li Hong as the head of the household. ”

"The slave obeys." Yang Wu said respectfully.

"Also, from tomorrow, the stinging and cheetah will let them go back to the East Palace, and they don't have to wander outside Chang'an City all the time, or listen to errands in the inner province." Li Zhi continued.

"That'...... What happened after Lijingmen ....... ”

"Your lord and the two of them will assist you, and when the two return to the East Palace, the prince will naturally understand." Li Zhi waved his hand and motioned for him to step back, and he had to think carefully about how the courtiers would react when Li Hong was crowned as the head of the household department tomorrow.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with Yangwu's performance, and was not surprised to hear that he had named Li Hong as the head of the household, and he was indifferent to the affairs of the court, which was probably attributed to the fact that Li Hong had been in the palace in the past few years and had strictly disciplined these eunuchs.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness......." Xiaoxue happily ran in from outside like a bird, and Li Hong, who was practicing calligraphy, was unstable, and a word was written like that.

Listening to the bird-like voice of the little snowbird, he glared at Xia Zhi who was smiling next to him with a dissatisfied, and hummed: "What is Xiaoxue doing in a daze? deduct her for half a month like this. ”

Xiao Xue ran in without feeling it, looked at Li Hong in surprise and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has made you the head of the household." It's three products, but. ”

"Poof......." Just received the tea sent by Xia Zhi, and there was no waste at all, Li Hong sprayed it all on the rice paper on the table where the words were written.

Li Hong reluctantly threw down the teacup and glared at Xiao Xue, who was still happy: "Compensate me for these words!" Do you know, I've been writing all morning, and I'm in such a good state today, and you've ruined it all for me! ”

"Your Highness atoned for your sins, it's a slave and maid who is so happy." Xiaoxue hurriedly stopped timidly and said.

"Happy fart, is this a happy thing?" Li Hong didn't have the demeanor of a prince at all, and the words of the market began to blurt out again.

It's really unthinkable, nothing can't be done. Father is warning himself, don't stretch your hands too long in the future, this is to tie yourself to the business road, and don't let yourself interfere in other things.

The position of the head of the household is to tell yourself, just take care of the affairs of your East Palace, if you have any ideas, give you a household book and you can toss and play, anyway, no matter how you toss in the future, you can't get rid of the circle he drew for you.

In the current era of valuing agriculture over business, those in power often regard a series of people's livelihood such as agriculture and silkworms as more important, and he only cares about whether the people can be fed and clothed, and whether they can starve to death in the year of natural disasters when agriculture develops.

For businessmen whose status is still very low in this era, those in power often do not take it too seriously, and they have not deliberately suppressed it.

Of course, Li Zhi gave him the post of household secretary, not all to suppress and restrain him, but also because of the huge wealth of Taiyi City, which made Li Zhi feel the sweetness of business.

Looking back at the Daming Palace, Li Zhi knew that if it weren't for the huge economic power of Taiyi City, the Daming Palace wanted to meet the conditions of luxury and glory and build the dream shape, but it would require a lot of bleeding from the treasury.

And the palace of the Eastern Capital is also in urgent need of repair, and the queen has been yearning for the Eastern Capital in recent years, so the palace of the Eastern Capital, if it still maintains the appearance of the original father, it is obvious that it is a little dilapidated.

Li Hong knew that yesterday's father's examination of his own war between Tuyuhun and Tubo made his father a little dissatisfied with him. As the crown prince, when he was admitted to the school by his father, his subjective consciousness was a little too strong, which obviously made him dissatisfied with his father.

Last night's conversation with my father in the palace garden was probably the main reason why my father was born and appointed himself as the head of the household.

In front of him, he unfolded a corner of the grand plan with business and economic vitality, and I am afraid that he also felt the importance of business together.

Li Hong waved his hand and said, "Hua Meng went to the Criminal Department to ask for someone, bring Xu Yushi back, and Mangzhong went to Dali Temple to get Li Yifu out." By the way, Xiaoxue, don't you like to run? Go and invite Shangguanyi, Xu Jingzong, Guo Yu, Yang Sijian, and Shangguanyi over. ”

Xiaoxue glanced at Li Hong aggrievedly, said "oh" in her mouth, and ran out happily again, judging from the restrained and shy appearance of the previous few years.

After saying these things, Li Hong thought about it, there was no Bai Chun in this matter, so he asked Bai Chun, who had been in King Pu's mansion, to enter the palace.

Since my father is not afraid of causing a big mess by himself, and since he trusts him to hand over the post of household secretary, if he doesn't toss and toss, then I'm sorry for my father's thoughts.

The household department is in charge of the world's land, the government of the money valley, the difference in tribute, household registration, taxation and other functions. Yes, and most importantly! When Li Hong thought of this, he couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and laugh a hundred times, and he couldn't wait to hug his father and kiss him a few times.

In Li Hong's view, the most important item of the household department was what he was most interested in: that is, to distribute money to the officials of the court! What could make him happier than that? As soon as the officials arrived at the end of the month, Li Hong jumped up with joy as soon as they looked forward to the expressions of the officials.

Household Department: One person is a third-grade Shangshu, two are a waiter under the fourth grade, two inspectors, four directors and so on. The household department has four divisions: the household department, the degree branch division, the gold department, and the warehouse department, each led by Zhonglang, and the grades are all from the five grades.
